My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : Experienced with many strategies for the understanding of what one reads.I am very experienced in this area and taught reading for several years

I am patient, kind and like to make learning fun. Positive reinforcement and praise can never be enough.Students learn best when they feel good about themselves and learning.
I am a Special Education teacher of thirty years. I have certifications in Learning Disabilities as well as an English certification for the Middle school level. I have experience in the general education, self contained, and Inclusion classroom settings.I have a special ability to pinpoint learning problems and understand how students learn best. I especially enjoy teaching students that are unable to read and have specific training in the area of decoding the written word.

A Little Bit About Me...

While at Virginia Tech, I dedicated much of my time to volunteering. Here I fell in love with serving others. During this time, one of the programs I volunteered for was an after-school teaching program. Here, I tutored elementary-aged children in english, science, and math. I enjoy helping others learn!
I have two younger sisters myself, and I am currently coaching the eight year old's softball team. From this experience, I have learned to have patience and creativity when it comes to teaching. I break things down so they become fun and informative.

I thoroughly enjoy teaching and working with all children. I am a true believer that all children learn differently. I like to engage my students in any way necessary. I am very flexible to the many different learning styles and I am willing to do what it takes to assist a child in grasping those challenging concepts. I am one who strives to see my students achieve academic success.
As a special educator, I am blessed to have the experience of working with both students with disabilites and students without dsabilites. I am currently a co-teacher working with English 12 students. This opportunity has given me a lot of skills in the area of English and I have also been allowed to teach a supplemental class to assist my students in further understanding the concepts and skills learned in their English class. In addition, I have taught elementary math to Algebra and I have also assist ... read more

For the past ten years, I have been teaching High School English. I have taught grades 9-12 in Literature, Composition and Standards of Learning in preparation for the state exams. I have taught inclusion classes involving students with numerous learning styles and have always met and exceeded the expectations of their parents.
I am a very motivating person and tend to use humor as a method of teaching. I teach to and with the child and never down to him/her. I break large components into their simplest forms so that a child learns to take things one step at a time and not feel overwhelmed. I make the learning relevant to what the child is interested in or knows about so that he/she can be more engaged in the learning process. We set the goal-a reasonable one yet with high expectations and together we achieve it.

My teaching style consists of incorporating all learning styles of most people in order to achieve the highest level of comprehension in course subjects. I believe that most students gain the best understanding when they are required to use their auditory skills, while visualizing the information, and writing the information for the practice of kinesthetic learning. It is imperative that the learning environment is entertaining yet informative so that the students view the learning process as fun. Any additional learning techniques or styles may be applied to accommodate all children in need.
I have worked for Norfolk City Public Schools and Virginia Beach City Public Schools as a substitute teacher for approximately six years. During that period I performed a multitude of jobs including long term substitute positions, teaching high school physics, and performed tasks far beyond th ... read more
